Many times over I have stated do what you want to your own car on forums. It's not my place to tell someone how to build their shit.

I will say this though, the thumbs up part of your post did make me laugh. The guy down the street used to get a lot of props for his POS Civic, but that doesn't mean he was doing it right. It was a gutted out tin can that sat on the ground & bounced all over the damn road. Not to mention he couldn't even get into most parking lots or go over speed bumps. Now That's not to say anything about your car, just an example. BTW I never get thumbs up or looks of approval & that is the way I like it.

I will not rag on your car it looks pretty clean.

On that note..... I was leaving the shop one night in my FC with the trailer in tow... I happened upon some complete piece of shit white del sol that had harware store letters on the back that read, "run your car, not your mouth" I BUSTED out laughing. I pulled up next to him, gave him the thumbs up, then ran him... I pulled away from him towing a trailer.

When I give people thumbs up, its generally to mock them.

See guys like that do serve a purpose, making us laugh. :rofl:

Wow I am astounded that you guys have 169 posts/ 9 pages fighting over stretched tires.

Grip = More tire on the road is better so running a stretched tire is handicapping yourself.

Drift = no performance gain from stretched tires, however most drifting is done by people with limited funds. Limited funds means you use what ever wheels you have and get what ever tires you have to fit so you can burn through them. I was told this was where the stretched tire look came from and then later VIP car guys saw it as a way to slam their cars even more with out rubbing. It is now a phenom for those possessing JDM tightness(oh yeah and those vw kids as well.)

The stretch phenom is to real performance enthusiasts the same as dayton wheels were to classic car enthusiasts. Although ugly and although engineering facepalms, if the right person thinks they are cool or look good then many many will jump on the bandwagon.

Here is all of the facts, statistics, and resources to back it up.
